The important question is, was a background check performed? If I-594 had already been enacted then clearly the shooter would have failed to pass the background due to age and this senseless mass shooting would not have happened.
Truly they are, and timing is everything!!complacent, negligent, lazy gun owners are our own worst enemy.

Yes, but it may also be due to the fact that we don't educate people as they are growing up. The sad thing is that kids in school get "safe sex" training but the same educators who want that do not want "safe firearms handling" taught which would, if taught in schools each year, decrease the odds of stupid handling of firearms. It would reduce the odds of irresponsible owners or even ignorant accidents by people who have gotten to the age where they could own firearms but have not had sufficient training to know how to handle them properly. It wouldn't stop stupidity but it could cut down on things like this where people may have simply not thought it out as to proper handling and safe storage of firearms.complacent, negligent, lazy gun owners are our own worst enemy.

That's why you catch them as kids and do it then. They will usually be more pliant when it is done at an early age.a lot of gun owners don't want to be "educated". i have lost count of the number of gun owners i've encountered who refuse to listen to anything safety related.
not everything was "smarter" back then. people widely shot without hearing or eye protection up till the 80s.
i don't know at what point cooper's rules became hammered as they are now, but some of the older guys have some pretty wild bad habits. i nearly shat my pants when an old experienced "pro" shooter looked straight down the muzzle to diagnose a misfire.
i'm amazed how i've even seen posters ON THIS FORUM pooh-pooh and dismiss safety rules.
so many gun owners seem to take offense of 'safety' as a challenge to their manhood or virility. i think the only way this is going to change is if negligence is publically shamed.
leaving loaded firearms openly accessible to 3 and 4 year old children, that needs to be shamed.
